Prevention Research Centers

Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) are specialized institutions that focus on studying ways to prevent chronic diseases and improve public health. They conduct research to identify effective strategies, programs, and policies that promote healthy behaviors and environments. PRCs collaborate with communities, healthcare providers, and policymakers to develop, test, and implement interventions that reduce health risks, such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Their goal is to translate scientific findings into practical solutions that enhance overall well-being and prevent health problems before they start.
